Katrina & Stuart's Wedding photographed @ Smeetham Hall Barn, Sudbury

I can't believe I've managed to write up a blog story in the month that the wedding took place - that has to be a first! At the beginning of July we photographed Katrina and Stuart's Wedding at Smeetham Hall Barn.

Smeetham Hall Barn is a lovely light barn and the gardens were beautiful which we were kindly allowed to use for photos. The sun shone all day and this has to be the hottest day we've photographed this year. Here's a selection of photos taken from their day

Here's Katrina's 'man-of-honour' doing her hair which looked stunning

I adore the next couple of photos - the first of Katrina looking towards the bridesmaids who had just got into their dresses and the second silhouette of Katrina


I love this vintage one of her shoes
Katrina coming down ready to leave and then her and her dad as they arrived at the barn

Here's Stuart looking at Katrina as she's just walked in and then a few from the ceremony

Katrina belongs to an amateur dramatics group and her friends from this sang 'It Must Be Love' at the end of the ceremony which was great

Katrina's mum Sue requested the large group shot to be taken across the pond - although guests aren't usually allowed in the garden the venue kindly agreed to let us take it

The bridesmaids were very good for such young children - here's one of the formals and then one of two of the girls playing

Katrina and Stuart hired Videographers Andy and Linda Welham from Any Occasions Videography
. As part of their dream sequence they got Katrina to run to Stuart - here's one of those photos followed by a couple of just the two of them

After their meal they had their speeches - here's Katrina's dad, Jim warming up the crowd followed by a few more photos during the speeches!

The man stood behind Stuart is Steve who we owe a huge thanks to as he was our Toastmaster for the day and was brilliant at helping us organise guests for the group shots

I love this one of Naomi (the youngest bridesmaid) who came and stood next to me during the speeches

Due to circumstances (the minibus that took the bridesmaids, family and myself to the ceremony was very late and as a consequence of this the service couldn't start on time and was over half an hour late) we didn't have much time to do photos of Katrina and Stuart before their meal so I took them for a little wander after their meal

The band in the evening were really good and Katrina even sung a number with them!

If you attended Katrina and Stuart's Wedding and would like to view their photos just ask them for the password and have a peep!

It was a pleasure working with you and your families and we look forward to designing your books with you shortly.
